The staff were friendly, the location central and surrounding scenery amazing. My daughter got married here, so 47 of us, were scattered around the town in various hotels/apartments. I fell in love with this location and Italy.

It was nice to have a view of the lake and the room was modern and bright if you like that sort of hotel room.
Beds are very low to the ground.

Good location.We had a 3rd floor room with great views.
The Hotel is in the centre and close to boat terminal.
Plenty of nearby eating places.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

No reception area on site, and on the few occasions I needed to phone the main reception, the phone lines were down.

Open shower in bedroom, so easy to flood room. Nowhere to put anything in bathroom and little storage in bedroom - small amount of hanging space but no shelves, drawers or bedside tables. No staff on site. Noisy on warm night and rubbish collection in the morning.

the staff, the abundant breakfast, the futon, the location

the shower without a screen so wet bedroom floor. in summer the duvet is too much especially since the a/c is not so effective & windows have to be shut, having no insect screen in spite of the mosquitos around.

Disappointing

August 11, 2014

- Great breakfast choice and good quality.
- Rooms are spacious.

- The mattresses were extremely soft and unpleasant to sleep on.
- The room on the first floor oversees the central place of Orta San Giulio which is nice but very loud at night.
- The parking 20 minutes walking distance from the hotel.
- Reaching the hotel by car is very unpleasant as one has to navigate through extremely narrow streets of the old village.
- Staff were not unfriendly but neither helpful, attentative or interested in why we decided to leave after only one night.
- Prices are way too high for what in our eyes is a place with potential and good design ideas but poor execution.

It was nice to have a view of the lake and the room was modern and bright if you like that sort of hotel room.
Beds are very low to the ground.

Like many others have commented the noise from the bars and restaurants below is really very loud and goes on pretty late so if you're in any way a light sleeper this hotel is a non starter. Others complained about the showers leaking all over the floor. We actually loved the showers and the 'problem' would be solved if they just drained more efficiently. You do end up standing in 2 inches of water at the end of your shower.
Again, as others have commented you have to go looking for your breakfast. What is on offer is spread over so many different fridges and tables in such a big area it's just not a great breakfast experience. You open a fridge door and it's jam packed with half empty cartons of fruit juices and milks. Not very appealing.

Very poor

Free drinks and snacks in the minibar

The room pictures are nice on Booking, but the real room is so shabby, stinky and depressing. The shower is in the middle of the room without tub or curtain, no wonder the water was all over the floor after we took a shower. The room is facing the main square, no soundproof, very noisy even after midnight.
The wifi is only available in the breakfast room, which is dark and dirty. The breakfast is minimalist, they are the portion control masters.
The town Orta S.Guilia is very nice and peaceful, but stay away from this hotel!!!

Good size rooms, clean rooms, friendly staff and awesome location directly on the Piazza with ease of access to many fine food restaurants, bars and shops. The town and Lake is just breath taking so beautiful to walk around. Only looking to stay 1 night however extended to 4 nights to enjoy the location and surrounds.
